Good Spring Read
I just finished The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper and I enjoyed the book. I found it to be a sweet story, sometimes sad but poignant. Arthur, the main character, through a journey of self discovery grew as a person, no matter that he was 70. There were also some nice passages that rang true to me concerning love, marriage and life. The plot had some nice little twists I was not expecting. I think this book would appeal to a middle age or older audience as it deals with aging and surviving the death of a spouse. That being said, I hope it is a book that younger people would read to get an appreciation for their parents or grandparents. There is plenty here to discuss in a book-group.
